Happy 1st Birthday, Xan!


Wowee!!! Xan is now one! Way to go baby boy! (Insert chant of one, one, one.)

We're at the end of Spring Break - funny how fast that flitted by. The TO DO list is far from finished. Sigh. But, we had some good times at the coast, thanks to CH's parents loan of their house at Seaside. Sadly it rained non-stop the entire time we were there. We still relaxed, read, drove the coast, visited Tillamook and Astoria (highly recommend Baked Alaska on a cool pier in the latter - yummy!) and marveled at the mobility of the small one.

Xan had a small birthday bash: one tante, a Granny & Poppy, two cousins, his mama. His dad had to work... Funniest thing was that Xan was not about to taste the frosting of his little cupcake (made without refined sugar - hear a cheer for agave nectar!) and was forced to put his coated fingers in his mouth by his mama. Then, he discovered the bliss and went from squawking to heaven in less than a second.

Check out some of the looks from this past week here.

Happy Birthday Xan! Looks like he enjoyed his cake. I love the pics of him by the window. Sorry you had bad weather.

Oh, I've missed the resumption in posting. Hooray for a 1-year-old guy!

On babyproofing, we were pretty relaxed. We figured we didn't leave them unsupervised much anyway. But I guess we've been lucky, too, to have relatively cautious kiddos.

I must meet Xan. When? Want to come to MD this summer?
